Did we really think we could keep him a secret? You know who I’m talking about. Last year’s National League MVP runner-up and Chicago Cubs sensation Javier Baez – a name that has become commonplace across the global baseball stage.
If we did hope people would overlook him moving forward, that was probably so we could extend him and lock him up as a lifelong Cub. But that’s all changed now because Baez has transcended his All-Star status and has become a superstar celebrity and, at this point, can call himself whatever he wants.
